Chương 36: Chapter 36: Her Plan All Along

"Is there something you need?" When Ethan came knocking on her door, she let him in and lead him to the balcony to converse.

Incase his sharp eyes might catch something 'out of place'.

"I wish to invite you to go with me to a relative's party." He said, straight to the point.

Lillie raised her eyebrow. "It wouldn't happen to be Elder Ping's 70th birthday party, isn't it?" Ethan was not surprised that she knew.

Everyone from the Business World and Elite Society wanted have the two of them at their occasions. If either comes, it means they are of great importance to their eyes.

People would be flocking on their way just to have connections. They would be placed in a lofty seat, they would be praised, idolized.

"I'm glad you're aware of it. So, how about it, would you like to come?" He's ready to hear her say 'no' because the She-Devil rarely goes out to party and so does Ethan, his family just forced him to come.

"Well, they did send me an invitation before we went to Japan. Since you invited me too, it'll be rude to decline." She said with an 'as the matter of fact' tone.

She agreed!

What he didn't knew that Lillie was just waiting for him to invite her. The main reason she 'personally' helped the Ping family get rid of that Zhang Guan is because they are the Li's relative.

Not because she likes Ethan or anything,

she've already accepted her fate of being a Li soon. She wouldn't want anything to sully the Li family's name.

Yeah, that's right...

If the Ping were not the Li's relative, she wouldn't even raise her pinky and just let the others handle it.

It'll be impossible for the Pings to not thank their benefactor. Since Elder Ping's birthday is coming near, they decided to invite her for a double celebration.

It was her plan all along. Now, she's just waiting for it to commence.

What a sly and cunning woman.

If Ethan ever find out, he'll surely vomit blood in frustration.

***

The Ping mansion was extravagantly decorated for the occasion as it was brightly lit with a lively air surrounding it.

Inside the party hall, everyone admired a lady in white. Her aura portrays innocent as her beauty was pure.

She was non other than the Ping family's youngest daughter and the jewel in their eyes,

Ping Xiao Yue.

The ladies were envious of her beauty, talent, and power. A woman from the Entertainment Industry was frowned upon by the Elite Society.

However, Ping Xiao Yue came from a prestigious background. No one would dare criticize her in fear for the Ping as well as the Li family.

"Miss Ping, is that dress from Dazzling Castle?!"

"Surely it is! Look at those stitches, I heard Madame Agathe had learned them from an expert who've studied the ancient stitching techniques."

"That beautiful symbol could not be find elsewhere so, it's definitely Dazzling Castle's."

"I heard a normal dress from Dazzling Castle worth hundreds of thousands. To what more if the dress came directly from Madame Agathe's own hands!"

Hearing their praises, Ping Xiao Yue didn't let her real emotions take her and she gave them a humble smile.

"Indeed, Madame Agathe's works are truly magnificent, it was an honor to wear her dresses." Indirectly speaking, she meant that Madame Agathe personally made the dress for her.

It was extremely rare for Madame Agathe to personally make the dress. She drew them, yes but, she had hired a lot of talented professionals to make them instead.

If she finds you pleasing to the eyes, she will personally make you a dress. If not, even if you were the president or one of the royal family, she wouldn't even bat an eyelid on your direction.

The only people who have such privileged to wear the clothes she makes is her family. Her parents, in-laws, husband, son, and her daughter, Lillie Bai.

However, to determine that the dress was personally made by Madame Agathe, there will be a special symbol attached to it.

The name of the person who wore it will be stitched on the dress with real gold threads.

Though, it cannot just be seen from one spot, it can be all over the place. That's why the ladies wouldn't dare to ask for legitimacy if the stitch was inside the dress.

They could only bottle up their jealousy.

Ping Xiao Yue was feeling haughty. No one in this party could be beautiful than her. No one in the party would wear an expensive dress like her.

No one.

Now, to complete her status, she must have a suitable lover.

There is no one as worthy of a lover than her cousin brother, Ethan Li.

No one is worthy for him if it weren't her.

Ethan Li belongs to her...
